Bill I have absolutly no clue what you are talking about I
never said or even inferred that I knew a bunch about
Burklands setup other than it sounded real 'right'...
What's with the attitude.. geez i just don't get it..
I did say i did know more than a little bit about tuning
race engines and getting that so called perfect tune up. It
can be done and requires a lot of time and effort both at
the design and testing stages. these efforts are time
consuming and very expensive. if you read anything more into
anything I have said about it then you read it in i never
wrote it... Sorry to offer you or anyone else anything I
have ever learned racing for free that many teams hire me to
figure out for them on a daily basis.
The statement you made about the details involved to prepare
a car like that is very true.. I would love to know what the
torque curve he finally arrived at for best acceleration , I
have my own ideas of a good one for LSR racing that has
proved itself out very well on numerous occassions. I would
love to know if Tom and I are on the same track with that as
i have never had the pleasure to have that much power at my
disposal in a LSR car to date...
Have a wonderful day......
